http://stackoverflow.com/questions/282460/how-to-find-out-subversion-repository-version#answer-282484 Make sure you distinguish between the two different format files. The format file directly in the repository root is not relevant to this question (AFAIR it has been "5" for a long time); look instead at the format file in the db directory in the repository root. For a newly-created repository under Subversion 1.6.17, format is "5" and db/format is "4 layout sharded 1000".
